Functional Therapy
Your smile consists of more than just teeth and gums; the way your jaws fit together greatly impacts the appearance and health of your mouth. We offer relief from headaches and jaw pain caused by teeth grinding. Custom-made mouthguards can alleviate teeth grinding (bruxism) and hold the jaws in proper alignment.
With the non-invasive K7 jaw tracking system, we can accurately analyze your jaw from every angle to identify abnormalities and determine a custom solution to your unique problems.

TMJ
TMJ, short for temporomandibular joint, refers to the joints that control the movement of your jaws (up and down and side to side). A poorly aligned bite causes TMJ disorders, resulting in pain in your jaw, face, neck, or upper-back. Relief is attainable with custom-molded oral appliances and other non-invasive therapies.
Bruxism Therapy
Do you have chronic headaches and chipped or worn teeth? You may suffer from teeth grinding, or bruxism. This affliction frequently occurs during sleep, so you may not even know that you clench and gnash your teeth. Our custom nightguards protect teeth from grinding and alleviate the pain associated with bruxism.
